Ready for the Night Shift

Ready for the Night Shift

He looks like he's leaving for his night time work shift, duties to go fight Apep...

Original black and white version...

Happily made the black and white rendering, I then proceeded to color it. Staring at the large size Set picture with his belly button magnified 5x, I am sleepily thinking, "It's the 'almighty belly button, this MEANS SOMETHING..."

The Belly Button of Set

Sleepy me then remembers, oh, yes, one of his titles is 'Son of Nuit', therefore he has a belly button.

(I just remember somewhere sometime a discussion 'Does God have a belly button?'. Of course, this is Yahweh type God they are referring to, who didn't have a mother, so depictions of him would be without belly button, except that many such religions don't depict their deity. I guess they don't want to get into such debates.)

BUT our Set has a Mother, therefore he has a belly button!
